One of the Republicans who spoke about why he agrees with Gov. Branstad's position to not accept the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act was referring to the thousands of Iowans now receiving health care through the IowaCare program. Brice Van Drimmelen of Newton is quoted as saying, "Instead of giving it to them as an entitlement, why not reform the educational system, making it easier to go to college so they can get their own insurance?"

Now, isn't that a perfect solution for my 58-year-old daughter who is receiving her care for epilepsy and other health issues? Why didn't we think of that?
